SAN JOSE, CALIF. – March 26, 2019 – GlobalLogic Inc., a leader in digital product engineering, today announced that, effective immediately, Björn Ivroth joins the company as an advisor to its Board of Directors. Mr. Ivroth recently served as the CEO of EVRY, a leading Nordic IT services and software provider. In this role, he will work alongside the Board, the CEO, and fellow accomplished leaders contributing to the development and execution of growth strategies driving GlobalLogic’s European business.

Mr. Ivroth started his career as a Management Consultant at McKinsey & Company. Other early experiences include leadership roles focused on IT Services at Accenture and IBM. His career then led to him taking the CEO position at CGI Sweden, part of the large multinational IT Services company CGI, where he executed the CGI and Logica merger in Sweden which transformed the business and significantly strengthened CGI’s position in the Swedish market.

Mr. Ivroth was subsequently appointed CEO of EVRY in March 2015.

Under his leadership, EVRY made its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in June of 2017. Björn retired from that role at the end of 2018.

“Organizations in every industry are looking to generate greater value, increase customer engagement, and create new revenue streams using software,” said Mr. Ivroth. “I see a strong need for leading companies like GlobalLogic to fulfill that customer demand, and I’m very excited and proud to work with them on this growth journey.”
